However there are a lot of interesting spin jump and cape challenges you can make with SMW too.

Interestingly, I think the Western players tend to favor SMW while the JP players tend to favor NSMB. My personal ranking for Mario Maker is NSMB > SMW > Mario 3 > SMB.

personally thats the reason I dislike the NSMB movement, the spin mechanic, and free wall jumping.. I feel it sort of obsoletes some things like shell jumping, frame perfect walljumps, p switch jumps etc, but to each their own

I also sort of dislike cape, at least in vanilla SMW.. theres a few cool mechanics like maintaining cape speed through doors, down-warping with spin blocks, invincibility frames from hitting something while flying etc, but whenever I play smw I basically just cape and fly through all the levels like a grimeball lol
